What a Bloody Joke!
Boooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

"Never use your foot or boot directly and deliberately against an opponent or you'll never play in my team again". My junior coach berating a teammate in junior footy and I can still see the spray from his mouth as he yelled it loud and clear!

Dog act from Thomas, not necessary at all. Should've got weeks.

Fair enough by your old coach, and I agree he should have been suspended. I think it was Lethal on the coverage declared that it was "not a kicking action".

I wonder how Matthews defines "kicking motion" and why this example of a deliberate use of the foot on a player isn't? Surely he doesn't narrowly define a kick as only the motion involved in kicking. Maybe the charge should've been "stomping, from the recumbent position".
